ATTENTION

This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 meters without derating.

This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be potential difficulties ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.

This equipment is supplied as open type equipment. It must be mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific environmental conditions that will be present and appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.

NOTE: See NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure. Also, see the appropriate sections in this publication, as well as the Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1, for additional installation requirements pertaining to this equipment.

ATTENTION

Publication 1784-IN003D-EN-P - January 2006

WARNING

After you have installed the card, you can connect it:

• directly to a ControlNet network, which requires a tap (page 1-9).

• to a device already connected to the ControlNet network (page 1-10).

See Figure 1.1 on page 1-8 for the connectors and indicators.

When used in a Class I, Division 2, hazardous location, this equipment must be mounted in a suitable enclosure with proper wiring method that complies with the governing electrical codes.

If you connect or disconnect the ControlNet cable with power applied to this module or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.

Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.

TIP

If you connect the product to a cable system that does not support redundant media, connect the tap dropline to the BNC connector labeled channel A. Channel B is left unconnected.

If the cable system is redundant, connect the product so that all devices on the network use the same cable for the same channel. That is, all channel A connectors connect to one cable; all channel B connectors connect to the other cable.

If you use a non-redundant cable system, all ControlNet devices must be on the same channel, channel A.
